VW Jetta

aa

Do you know Katy Perrys first car? Faith you do not become it – lying in wait on the large glamor – eh: It was a VOLKSWAGEN Jetta. The conventional man from Wolfsburg. Somewhat the tail shapeless with that. That, which was allowed to never hand the water to the gulf in Germany, although owing to notchback more water boxes into the trunk inside fit. On the notchback America stands. Therefore the new Jetta is sold first in the USA and only some months later in Europe. The US best-seller by Volkswagen borrows from now on no more body equipment of the gulf, which gets it optically, because the proportions appear more balanced, also better.

The length grew around six and the wheel base around seven centimeters. In the interior now 4.64 meters are enough for Jetta happen it therefore roomier, the trunk volume fall as used, for the Fahrzeugklasse sumptuously out (volumes: 530 litres). The area under the front hood can be filled with six engines with 105 to 200 HP of achievement. To the choice the 1.4-Liter-Turbobenziner with 122 or 160 HP and the two-litre with 200 HP stand on the Benzinerseite of the 1,2-Liter-TSI with 105 HP. With the Diesel the choice falls either on the 1,6-Liter with 105 HP or the two-litre with 140. There are the two entrance engines also with the BlueMotion package, which includes the asynchronous operation system and the brake suppl. IE recuperation for a surcharge of 400 euros also. Thus the Jetta 1,2 TSI comes on a value consumed of 5,3 litres with a CO2-Ausstoß of 123 g/km and the entrance Diesels in the BlueMotion version on scarce over four litres (CO2-Ausstoß: 109 g/km).

Already as standard equipment the new Jetta is equipped with six Airbags, air conditioning system, day headlight, mountain starting assistant, ABS and ESP. In the higher equipment lines or against surcharge are added the park assistant, the double clutch transmission (DSG), 17-Zoll-Leichtmetallfelgen or the leather equipment. In the USA the VOLKSWAGEN Jetta costs only 16,000 dollar

In Germany one receives to the 1,2 TSI at the entrance price of 20,900 euros. The 1,6 TDI stands with 23,075 euros in the price list, its BlueMotion variant with 23,475 euros. To Germany the new Jetta comes in January 2011. For 2013 – for America important – the Jetta hybrid is planned.

VW Addresses Jetta Complaints with New GLI Model that gets 200HP and Euro Suspension

When American buyers learned that the European market version of the Jetta came with better and more modern engines, improved materials and a four-link rear suspension system similar to that fitted to the Golf, they felt somewhat let down - even though these changes came with a hefty price increase for European consumers. Now, VW is trying to address some of these concerns with the presentation of the new Jetta GLI, which debuts today at the Chicago Auto Show.

The new model is the most differentiated Jetta GLI model ever. First of all, it is powered by Volkswagen's 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, generating 200 horsepower and a 207 lb.-ft. of torque at just 1,700 rpm. The four-cylinder unit is paired to a standard six speed manual gearbox or an optional dual-clutch DSG transmission. VW said that while EPA figures are not yet available, the Jetta GLI is expected to deliver 31 mpg highway with the manual and 32 mpg highway with the DSG.

The turbocharged engine isn't the only significant change over the standard Jettas as the GLI gets the European version's four-way independent rear suspension instead of the torsion beam setup found on the other N.A.-spec models. Furthermore, the GLI benefits from the Golf GTI's XDS cross differential system that helps prevent inside wheel spin during cornering, plus beefier four wheel disc brakes with floating red calipers.

On the outside, the GLI is distinguished by the 17- or 18-inch alloy rims, a newly styled front bumper, a honeycomb grille with silver accents, smoked taillights and twin exhaust outlets. Inside, the range-topping Jetta gets sport bucket seats with red stitching, a sport flat-bottom steering wheel with red stitching and additional standard features such as a 6.5-inch touch screen premium VIII radio with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity.

Now, the question is will all those that complained about the standard Jettas pay the price for these upgrades as the new GLI has a starting MSRP of $23,495. Dig a little deeper in your pockets and $25,545 will get you the better equipped GLI Autobahn that adds 18-inch alloys, sunroof, dual zone climate control, heated V-Tex Leatherette seats and the Fender Premium Audio System. Another $900 for a grand total of $26,445 will get you the Jetta GLI Autobahn with an RNS-315 navigation system and keyless access with push-button start technology.
